Season 1

In this episode, we hear from multiple witnesses across Oregon and Kentucky who have spent time deep in remote wilderness areas and walked away with experiences they can’t explain.


A mushroom hunter in the Siuslaw National Forest describes the moment everything in the woods went silent before something responded to his call—and followed him out, throwing a log that narrowly missed his head.


In Applegate, a 1979 encounter unfolds near a remote mining camp, where a massive upright figure moved down a ridge, shaking trees and forcing a seasoned outdoorsman to leave the area immediately.


A retired Army major shares years of activity on a rural property near Land Between the Lakes, including an unidentifiable growl, persistent stalking sounds, and an incident involving his vehicle being moved overnight.


In Rainier, Oregon, ongoing CURRENT DAY 2026 activity surrounds a family’s property—tree knocks, vocalizations that sound like conversation, massive tracks in the mud, and something that approaches the house after dark.


And in western Kentucky, a skeptic enters the woods to test what he thought couldn’t be real, only to capture a thermal image and find footprints that raise more questions than answers.


These accounts come from people who know the outdoors—and know when something isn’t right.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big the Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.200
So stay with us. Hey, how's it going.

11
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:33.159
How's it going?

12
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.719
Man? Hey good? Feel free to share, man, what you experienced.

13
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.679
Yeah, So I was out So I live in Eugene

14
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.479
and I'm mushroom hunts.

15
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:45.600
Oh yeah, out.

16
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:45.679
In the.

17
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:53.920
Up in the Wolf Creek Wilderness, sus La Forest up there,

18
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.640
thought that way. So I was up there and I

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.560
had I had two experiences. I'll just tell you about

20
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:09.400
the one though. So the one experience I was so,

21
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:15.480
I was probably about I don't know, maybe uh eighth

22
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.599
of a mile away from my truck, pretty far out.

23
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.359
I mean I was probably a good maybe ten miles

24
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.000
from the highway of the logging roads, so probably halfway

25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:33.959
in between, oh, halfway halfway in between. I like like

26
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.239
run the Vaughan Road area between there and the Highway

27
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.879
one twenty six. So that area is very remote. Really,

28
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.000
there's no people out there. In fact, they actually close

29
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.680
off the they'll close off a lot of the logging

30
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.560
roads periodically. There's only a certain times of the year

31
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.000
that ye were able to kind of get back there.

32
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.879
But anyway, so all of a sudden, all the wildlife

33
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.280
just got like the birds and stuff just got super quiet,

34
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.040
like so's you could just like the hair on the

35
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.680
back of my neck was standing up. And I'm not

36
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.400
saying that that's what that was, right, but but something

37
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.759
really odd was going on, you know, like that I

38
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.159
could there was just a feeling of sense, you know,

39
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.960
sort of like a hey, you know something, I'm not alone,

40
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.439
but there's nothing else out here, you know, like everything

41
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.520
quieted down, you know.

42
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:21.919
What I mean.

43
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.120
And so I'm telling you this, I'm getting this off

44
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.120
my chest. You're the only one that knows.

45
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.120
Oh wow, I I appreciate that. I I don't take

46
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.599
that for granted, man, thank you, so, but.

47
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.240
I do follow you and I and I like yours,

48
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.719
I like your stuff and I do. And actually there's

49
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.840
a video on my uh I do have a video

50
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.919
on my on my page of this encounter. But I

51
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.400
have this encounter, but I didn't I haven't talked about it.

52
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.960
The first person I've talked to about it. I'm like,

53
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.560
I'm gonna do a call. I'm just gonna see if

54
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.240
I get an answer back, you know. And so I

55
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.360
did this call, right, and I got a response back right,

56
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.680
and it's it's faint, but you can hear it. And

57
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.800
right about then, so once I cut the once I

58
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.719
cut the video, it was on my way back to

59
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.120
the truck is when I had the encounter, right, So

60
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.080
I I kind of got scared and I started kind

61
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.360
of like moving with a quickness. And I had to

62
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.280
go uphill, not a really steep grade, but I had

63
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.479
to go uphill. And I could hear something behind me,

64
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:40.000
probably a good maybe thirty yards behind me, breaking brush, right,

65
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.759
and and it was and that was the only thing

66
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.159
that really broke the silence. It was all of a sudden,

67
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.759
like big brush was being broken, you know. And uh

68
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.039
so I just started running. I was terrified. I started

69
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:56.199
running right and as I'm running, and I'm yelling to

70
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.639
my mom because my mom is disabled, she likes to

71
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.439
go much mushrom hunting with me, but she just likes

72
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.800
to sit in the truck and it's like hang out,

73
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.759
like look around the truck type stuff, just kind of

74
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.719
get out of nature. And I'm yelling at my mom.

75
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.039
I'm like, start the truck. We gotta go, yeah, right,

76
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.719
and she's like what she can't really hear me. And

77
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.920
just then I look over my left shoulder and a

78
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.360
log and I want to say, probably about I want

79
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.120
to say, probably about about as big around as a football,

80
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.240
you know, about this big a round and probably about

81
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.680
three feet long, came whizzing by my head like a

82
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.800
boomerang and and hit in front of me, right, And

83
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.920
at that point, you know, I just kind of like

84
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.959
I just kinda like I don't really remember much, man,

85
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.839
I just just running and I got back to my

86
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:46.879
truck and then that was it.

87
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.319
So, oh my goodness, that's wild. I was laughing because

88
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399
it reminded me of the part and Raiders of a

89
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.639
Lost Stark when he's like start the plane shock and

90
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.560
he's like running back to his plane when the sound

91
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.360
went out. Uh, was there any pressure change in your ears.

92
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:10.800
Uh.

93
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.959
You know, I wouldn't say there was a pressure change

94
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.959
in my ears, but there was a but you could

95
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.399
definitely you could feel like a barometric pressure, you know

96
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.920
what I mean, like almost like I want to say,

97
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:22.480
a thickness.

98
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:23.759
M h.

99
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.639
I don't know something like that, you know, I don't

100
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.199
know how to do. I don't know how to describe it,

101
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:30.959
you know. I just know that I spent a lot

102
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.240
of time out in the bush mushroom hunting that time

103
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.680
of year, you know, and I can tell when it

104
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.439
suddenly goes from one state to another state, you know

105
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.439
what I mean. And I've also come across some bears

106
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.560
where where bears have like wildlife quiets down when they're

107
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.639
when the bears are around there too, Like I've seen that.

108
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.160
The only time I've seen that is when I came

109
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.600
across bears with cubs, you know, and they're and they're

110
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.160
not they're not super friendly, you know. And and I

111
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.480
got my bear mace and everything else like that, and

112
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.399
I've got those, and this was not that because there

113
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.519
was the sort of the sense, the general you sort

114
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.639
of like ominous feeling, you know. The other encounter, I'll

115
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.920
just tell you so I was, so I have my

116
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.480
three P fifty seven out there. I just like to

117
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.079
go out there and just shoot right sure, And I

118
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.519
was in this spot okay, well, okay, look, i'll tell

119
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.160
you this. I'll tell you how this whole encounter culminated.

120
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:29.399
Right.

121
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.199
So I go into this little col de sac and

122
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:34.639
some of these logging roads they were just sort of

123
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.480
built like to bring equipment out to an area so

124
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.639
they could log. And then so there's a bunch of

125
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.439
like dead ends, cold a sacks and stuff, and the

126
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.279
coal sacks. Really, but there's dead ends, you know. And

127
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.160
one of them I went, I went on that I

128
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.680
hadn't been on as probably about maybe one hundred yards

129
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.480
two hundred yards, right, And this isn't about a twenty

130
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.199
foot stand or twenty year stand, right, So twenty year

131
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:01.639
old trees, right. And so I get in there and uh,

132
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.199
I'm doing my mushroom hunting and stuff around there. And

133
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.160
on my way back out there were there were these

134
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.560
you know, trees I don't I want, I don't know.

135
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.160
There are twenty years stands, maybe ten year, twenty years

136
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.240
twenty your sounds out right, they're probably about maybe like

137
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.439
eight to ten inches in diameter that were neatly laid

138
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.680
across the road, and I was trapped in there, right,

139
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.879
So I had there's probably about four trees, and and

140
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.800
I was and it was not far from me. I

141
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.480
didn't hear any of these trees go down, and they

142
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:36.399
were ripped up from the root. And so I had

143
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.399
my truck and I was able to hook my my

144
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.160
my uh my toe rope on them and pull them

145
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.920
out of the way, you know. But that really kind

146
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.279
of scared me a little bit. I drove a little ways,

147
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.360
you know, to where I normally go shooting, and this

148
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.639
is out in the same wilderness. This is probably about

149
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.079
two miles away from where I had that encounter, and

150
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.720
and I went to this one other place where it

151
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.800
was kind kind of like where I can kind of

152
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.959
shoot where I know there's a backdrop of a hill,

153
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.040
you know. So I'm not gonna like, you know, because

154
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.079
I'm really careful about that. And and I was just

155
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.079
mess around, and I was like, I was like, all right, listen, squatch,

156
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.399
I'm gonna shoot into the wilderness, but I ain't shooting

157
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.040
at you, so I don't, you know, I don't want

158
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:21.399
you to give me the business, right and uh and

159
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.439
so I fired off around and right after I fired

160
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.839
this round off, it goes, I'm going.

161
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:26.120
I heard this.

162
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.920
It was like it was like twenty feet from me,

163
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.879
almost like it scared it, you know. And uh and

164
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.879
it was like I'm talking to you, that's how loud

165
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.879
I heard it, Like someone was there with me, you know,

166
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.759
like uh and I'm and I'm I'm telling you, I'm

167
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.759
in the middle of nowhere, like there's absolutely you know

168
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:47.720
it was. It was.

169
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.440
It was crazy.

170
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.360
And that was the same day that like the trees

171
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.320
in the road and then the firing off that round

172
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.440
and that was and there was probably three years in

173
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:56.559
between those encounters.

174
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.440
That's wild. How how long ago were the years on that?

175
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.440
Would you say?

176
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.679
Uh, well, I'm not I'm not sure. I want to

177
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.600
say like maybe two years ago was that was the

178
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.240
was the encounter where the where the log got thrown

179
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:14.559
at me.

180
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:15.360
I don't know.

181
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.559
You can look at my my video on my I

182
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.120
posted it. I can't remember what day it was. Sometimes

183
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.639
in the years and then it was two years before that. Actually, no,

184
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.320
it was more than that. It's probably like four years

185
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.159
before that was was when I had the like trees

186
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:31.879
laid out on the road.

187
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.120
Oh my goodness, those those are wild. Thank you for sharing.

188
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.879
So that's uh size was how you say? C Slaw

189
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.000
National Forest?

190
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.639
Forest?

191
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.440
See what's the national forest? Uh in the Wolf Creek Wilderness?

192
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:50.200
Yep?

193
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.320
Okay, wild wild stuff? Have you ever? Do you do

194
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.840
any mushroom hunting out by Oakridge and and the world.

195
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.759
Most spot, the only the only spots I have our

196
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.759
coastal and those are pretty well popped, pretty high populated areas.

197
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.279
You know, I wouldn't imagine there would be a lot

198
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.639
of squatchy stuff going on there. I do know, I

199
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.799
do have. I do have some friends that are that

200
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.960
are from Susila that have had some that have had

201
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:24.799
some encounters around the well, it's like the I'm trying

202
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.600
to think of the name of the creek, Whittaker.

203
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.919
Creek area, Okay.

204
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:38.559
The the local fable is that there's a bridge, there's

205
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.120
a there's a tunnel that you have to go through

206
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.399
on the way to Florence, and it's right around that area,

207
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.720
and that tunnel there's this this huge steep like like

208
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:53.679
uh huge steep terrain all around that tunnel entrance, right

209
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.039
and there was a lot of these encounters. There was

210
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.919
a lot of these encounters where like a bunch of

211
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.120
people that were driving by I saw and injured Bigfoot

212
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.480
around that area that had fallen. Well, I mean they

213
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.159
suspect that he was fallen, that he had fallen and

214
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.120
he could not get back up that area. So there

215
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.519
was like like a whole afternoon of people that saw

216
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.759
Bigfoot in that area. And that's that's wow. The local

217
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.440
town there in Mapleton. That's kind of the local the

218
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.879
local story. So every time every time me and my

219
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.000
family drive through that tunnel, we uh, my kids yell

220
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.240
for Squatch out the window.

221
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.840
That's awesome. I was going to guess it looks like

222
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.919
that's the Knowles Creek Tunnel is what I can see

223
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.120
on a map. And yeah, if you look it up

224
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:44.320
on Google Maps, it's very high steep ground by that tunnel.

225
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.600
The eastern the eastern front of it is very very

226
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:53.399
very steep. So like going from Eugene to the coast,

227
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.120
like that Eastern Park is very very steep.

228
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.080
Gotcha, my goodness. Are you Are you thinking of going

229
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.320
out to Oakridge for the Bigfoot Festival this July?

230
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:04.519
Oh?

231
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.639
I don't know, I might that would be kind of fun.

232
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.360
I know that my I got a couple of my

233
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.399
daughters are firm believers, a couple of them are not.

234
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.600
Gotcha, gotcha? Well, yeah, it's a fun time if you

235
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.759
if you end up, if you end up making it,

236
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.919
be sure to say hi. I'll be there speaking this year,

237
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.600
so it'll be my third year out there. But thank

238
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.360
you for coming up. Man, It's fun chatting with you.

239
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:27.759
Yeah.

240
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.759
Absolutely, He'll be a night bondsie. What's up brother?

241
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.720
Hey, having a good day. How about you?

242
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.480
Hey? Doing well? Just hanging out and not too bad

243
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.559
in Iowa? What are you up to?

244
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.879
Just kicking back and resting.

245
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.240
I thought I had enough time to, uh give you

246
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.360
one more short story. It was actually the very first

247
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:59.679
time I ever had a experience where I visually visually

248
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.240
saw Bigfoot and uh, we're building a bridge down on

249
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.919
the applegate near were grant to pass. And one of

250
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.360
the guys that worked with me, he was friends with

251
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.559
a miner that had three mines in the Comeoposis Wilderness area,

252
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.519
and uh, he said.

253
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.799
He asked me, he said, so.

254
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.000
Would you like to go with us this weekend and

255
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.759
go stay at the mines and maybe do some gold

256
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.240
sniping and fishing and whatnot?

257
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.000
And I said, yeah, that'd be that'd be great.

258
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.600
So so we pull onto the ridgeline. There's a green

259
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.399
lock gate, so you have to have a special key,

260
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:46.360
and the miners he had the key, and we drove

261
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:53.720
down in there. It was approximately six miles of four

262
00:13:53.759 --> 00:14:00.120
wheel drive, low range, just crawling down in there. And

263
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.919
we get down to his main little cabin and he

264
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.039
was living in a small cabin and he pointed us

265
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.679
in the right direction to go up the draw above

266
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.159
his cabin to get to the cabin we were staying at.

267
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.480
So we headed up there and we're pulling up there

268
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.039
and here's this beautiful, huge log cabin. It's got a

269
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:27.159
it's got an outhouse about oh about one hundred and

270
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.519
fifty yards from the cabin.

271
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.000
Yeah, ways a tool.

272
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:38.480
Anyway, she checks that out, she goes, she goes, I'll

273
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.399
tell you one thing, And I said, well, what's that.

274
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.120
She said, well, I'm not going out to that outhouse

275
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.279
by myself at night.

276
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.200
And I said, I said, that's fine, I'll go out

277
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.679
with you. He did not.

278
00:14:53.759 --> 00:15:01.559
Well, So anyhow, we got out at the cabin and

279
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:07.960
immediately noticed that it was just absolutely dead, still silent

280
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:13.480
around the cabin. I mean, there wasn't frogs making noise.

281
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.440
There weren't crickets. Nothing was making any noise. It was

282
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:21.919
just dead, calm still and a slight, slight musky smell,

283
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.840
not unlike a pack rat.

284
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.240
But it was not a pack rat. I've like.

285
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.679
I was raised in the woods and I know what

286
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:39.000
pack rats smell like. So anyhow, nothing occurred the first night.

287
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.720
I got up the next morning and they told me

288
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:47.000
that the criks just just below the cabin and we

289
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.720
were only like three miles from the ocean, so it's

290
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.080
really good fly fishing.

291
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.120
So I took my cow dog at the time. His

292
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.159
name was Griz.

293
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:04.480
He was an Australian kepper healthy shepherd cross, and he

294
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:10.120
was a bad, bad dog as far as hunting bear,

295
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.120
getting bulls out of you know, bull like beef out

296
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.320
at bogs. If I put him on something, he went

297
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.679
after it, he got it, he got it out, or

298
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.519
send it up a tree or whatever. So him and

299
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.360
I walked down over the edge. There's a trail heading

300
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.720
right down to the creek and get down there and

301
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.240
right off the bat the side I was on was

302
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.879
brushy and the other side was the start of a

303
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.720
big elongated gravel bar, and up at the head of

304
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.200
the gravel bar, it made a bend and there was

305
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.360
a really nice hole up there.

306
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.320
So I thought, well, this is this is just a perfect.

307
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:58.200
Setup for fly fish, and we'll just creep up there

308
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.039
and stay way away from the creek because the water

309
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.839
was pretty clear, and I cast my fly over into

310
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.119
that pool and see what we get get out of there.

311
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:15.440
And so I started walking up there and started stripping

312
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:20.640
lying out and I'd made about three overhead casts and

313
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:25.200
I finally landed the fly in the pool. And just

314
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.599
as the fly lands in the pool, I heard a

315
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:33.440
big crash on the ridge line up above me. And

316
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:40.759
this was big old growth dark forest that started right

317
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.200
at the cabin and went down into the creek bottom

318
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.960
and across and up the ridge line. It went for

319
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.759
miles of old growth forest in there. Like I say,

320
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:59.400
it was the Cameopsis wilderness. And I look. I stopped

321
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.559
and totally forget about my fishing, and I look up

322
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:13.359
the ridge and I can see this big, tall black thing.

323
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.680
I could just tell that it looked like a man

324
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.559
or something upright, and it started coming down the ridge

325
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.680
line to my left towards that point, and he would

326
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:38.200
hit trees that were twelve fourteen inches around and just

327
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.359
slam into them and shake them. And if there was

328
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:46.079
any branches in the area where he grabbed, he'd rip

329
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.839
those branches off and just throw them like they were twigs,

330
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:50.119
you know.

331
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:56.240
So it looked like a thrasher coming down off the

332
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.960
hill and.

333
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:04.519
He's unfortunately, well maybe it's fortunate because it probably would

334
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.160
have scared me to death to have an absolute visual

335
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.599
on him.

336
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:13.119
But fortunately for me, all I ever got to.

337
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:21.079
See was a big, tall, black, upright figure and he went.

338
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.559
He came all the way down that ridgeline and probably

339
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:30.279
hit five or six different trees, and he got to

340
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.720
the point right directly in front of me and got

341
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.079
right next to a tree. And he's still in the shadows,

342
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:43.519
so I can't pick out specific details. All I could

343
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:48.359
tell was was he was tall, he was wide and big,

344
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:54.799
and so I stopped. He stops, and he stopped.

345
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:58.680
He's just dead still, didn't make a move. Once he stopped.

346
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:06.119
Dog, he uh, he caught wind of it, or he

347
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:06.680
heard and.

348
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.960
Seen what was going on. He ran by me, ran.

349
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.160
Up to within about fifty yards of where this thing

350
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:17.000
was standing.

351
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:18.279
He was very.

352
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.400
Brave, Yeah, chrismatic. Dog.

353
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.519
I thought he was going to chase it off, is

354
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.079
what was in my mind. Not good grizzly, chase off,

355
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:33.839
chased off whatever it is. Yeah, I'm safe anyway. So

356
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:42.200
Griz he stopped, put his nose and yeah, and then

357
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:48.079
he basically just put his nose back between his back

358
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.880
legs and took off back towards the cabin. He went

359
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.559
by me so fast that I felt the wind blow

360
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.400
when he went by, and I'm.

361
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.240
Like, holy cow, this isn't gonna work. This is going

362
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.799
to work out.

363
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:07.200
So I did have my little twenty two pistols trapped

364
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.759
on my hip, totally forgot about it. It would have

365
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:15.440
been useless anyway, and unless something attacks me, I'm not

366
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:20.640
going to use anything for protection anyway. But this thing,

367
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:24.240
it just seemed like it was trying to give me

368
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.680
every option in the world to just get out of there.

369
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:33.440
It was telling me I don't want you here, You're

370
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.519
not welcome here, Get out of here. So I took

371
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.359
off after Gris, and all I could see was this

372
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.960
tail going around the corner right before he ran up

373
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.559
the hill to the up towards the cabin. So I

374
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.880
get down there, and I get walk up the trail

375
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:58.359
and get towards the top, and there stands my wife

376
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:02.400
and gris there looking down the hill towards me, and

377
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.160
my wife says, what happened?

378
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.680
What grizz leave you? He's never left you before? And

379
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.720
could you do me a favorite to go close that door? Ok.

380
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.160
Yeah, we're babysitting eight little dogs right now.

381
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.440
Oh my goodness.

382
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:21.759
Wow.

383
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:27.839
Yeah, and if a bug flies by thereafter it. So anyway,

384
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.480
my wife says, what happened, white white grizz leave you?

385
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.440
And so I told her the.

386
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:38.359
Story, and she goes, well, let's let's go back down

387
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.119
there and check it out. And I got to thinking

388
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:46.880
about it, and I thought, well, okay, I just happened

389
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.839
to have a twelve gage shotgun in my pickup with

390
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.559
double up buck because we'd been me and the guy

391
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.400
that went in there had been bear hunting in the

392
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:03.640
Agnes area and it's oak brush, so basically you use

393
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.240
shotgun shelves and double up buck. And so I got

394
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.920
it out, made sure it was loaded up properly, and

395
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:16.319
Jack went in the chambern and we started down the hill,

396
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:21.279
down the trail towards the crack, and I did fine

397
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:25.920
getting down to the crick and I made it about

398
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.640
probably about fifty yards and it felt like something just

399
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.799
put its hands out and put just right directly on

400
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.519
my chest and just stop me. And my wife says,

401
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.960
what's wrong. Let's go, let's go see what that was.

402
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:48.799
And I said, well, I'm pretty sure what it was.

403
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:54.319
I said, I didn't get, you know, absolute detail of

404
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.960
every thing about it, but I'm pretty sure I know

405
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.359
what it was. She says, well, let's go, let's get

406
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.880
up there. And I looked at her and I said,

407
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.880
I can't go any further. She said, what do you

408
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:11.759
mean you can't go any further? I said, something feels

409
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.200
like it just stopped me. It felt like I ran

410
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.920
into a wall basically.

411
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.359
And so she goes, well, what do you want to do,

412
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:23.440
and I said, well, I want to go.

413
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:25.599
I want to go back down to the cab and

414
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.880
load her stuff up and get out of here. I said,

415
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:32.279
I'm I'm not staying another night with with this, with

416
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:38.839
this thing telling us to leave, you know. So anyhow,

417
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:44.799
that was that was my first encounter where I had

418
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:53.200
visible sight of a creature, upright creature, And like I said,

419
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.200
unfortunately I didn't get a super good view of it,

420
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.640
which may or may not be my be better. I

421
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.319
didn't get that good a view of it. I may

422
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.240
have never wanted to go back in the woods again.

423
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:06.039
I don't know.

424
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.680
What a first what a first encounter to have? The

425
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.960
was that near the bigfoot trap down there?

426
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:16.519
I don't know.

427
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:25.599
There there are three mines on the property and when

428
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:31.640
you come in from the Gramp's pass side. Yeah, it's

429
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.279
just the first crick that you get to after you

430
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.000
come through the lock gates. I don't I haven't heard

431
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.480
anything about a bigfoot trap in the area.

432
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.359
Yeah, there's a there's a big foot trap in Applegate, Oregon.

433
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.759
It's been there since the seventies. What what year did

434
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.480
this happen to you?

435
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:48.759
Though?

436
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:53.200
This was nineteen seventy.

437
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.000
Nine.

438
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.279
It was a year after we'd been up there.

439
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.039
And so anyhow, that's my little short story for the day. Well,

440
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:06.559
I'll say more and come back.

441
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.559
I appreciate you you both coming up.

442
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.920
You got it.

443
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.000
You'll talk more later.

444
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.119
He wouldn't go out to the outhouse after that.

445
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.359
Yeah, everyone wasn't going there. There wasn't anyway I was

446
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.680
going out to the house. So we just we just

447
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.799
loaded everything up and laughed. Never went back either.

448
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:32.599
I don't I don't blame.

449
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:34.000
Then.

450
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.880
It was now, But I got lots of good stories

451
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:43.039
for you. We mushroom hunt three times a week every

452
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.960
week all spring long, and uh we go for mushroom

453
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.039
hunting to berry picking.

454
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.680
Then we have we have things going on almost daily.

455
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.480
But my goodness, dude.

456
00:26:55.079 --> 00:27:00.200
Oh, I'll connect with you on Gmail. I believe what

457
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.200
was and we'll do a longer past.

458
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:08.000
Yes, sure, we'll talk later. Good to talk to you again. Man.

459
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:10.880
All right, I'll watch and see what you got going

460
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.640
on here for a while.

461
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.000
Have a good one. Thank you you too. Hi there,

462
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.519
how's it going?

463
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.599
Hey? Good good? How are you hey?

464
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.000
Doing really good? Thanks for coming up. Feel free to

465
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.599
share what your experiences. Would love to hear it.

466
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.440
Yeah.

467
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:28.680
I was a I'm a retired Army major of twenty

468
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.200
one years.

469
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:30.799
I just retired last year.

470
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:36.039
In my early days, I was stationed at Fort Campbell,

471
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:41.319
Kentucky from two thousand and four to twenty ten, and

472
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.559
my wife and I thought it would be really cool

473
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.000
to live out in the country in the Beckwoods.

474
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.640
Way down south.

475
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:55.640
And to the west of the base, kind of like

476
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.759
where where the Back forty ends. And so we ended

477
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:05.640
up renting a nice acreage in the land between the lakes.

478
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:07.119
And.

479
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:15.000
It wasn't too far into after we got there. I

480
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.359
just got back from I rack the second time, and

481
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.400
I heard a loud growl that.

482
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.839
Did not sound like a dog.

483
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.920
It didn't sound like a bear, It didn't sound like

484
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.559
a tiger or lion. It was something I've never heard

485
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:38.279
of before. And with me being just back from Iraq fresh,

486
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:42.759
I wanted to kill. And so I ran into the

487
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.799
house and said, Julie, where's my bat? And she said,

488
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.279
how am I supposed to know? You just got back

489
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.200
checked the closet. I said, oh yeah, I checked my closet.

490
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.359
There was my bat. I grabbed the bat. I ran

491
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.920
furiously back to the tobacco barn, because we had a

492
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:08.880
tobacco barn for this rental property. I went right where

493
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:12.400
the gral was and I started banging on the tobacco

494
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.440
bar and said, where are you at?

495
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.119
Come out here right now, face me, you am effer

496
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:21.839
face me now.

497
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.960
And I kept.

498
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:28.400
Banging the bat on the barn, on the tobacco barn.

499
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:32.039
I felt like I was being watched the whole time

500
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.839
and studied, and I just kept getting more angry, and

501
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.119
I banged that barn until I didn't want to bang

502
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.839
it anymore.

503
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.920
And for the rest of the time that I lived there.

504
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.680
There was any time I was if I stepping outside

505
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.880
to have a cigarette or anything like that, or tending to.

506
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:02.359
The dogs, there was always this rustling. More than just

507
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.200
like a possum.

508
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.559
Or something like that, it sounded like a walking or

509
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.200
And I would run up into the holler with my

510
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.559
bat and say, where are you at, Come out here now,

511
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.079
and I would egg this thing on and it would

512
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:24.839
never face me. And then one night, it was a

513
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:29.240
Saturday night, I wanted to go into town because we

514
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.480
were about three miles outside of town. We were in

515
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:36.160
the country road. My jeep was gone. I thought it

516
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:42.240
was stolen. I called the police. I told him my

517
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:46.319
jeep was gone as a brand new jeep. And then

518
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:50.640
I went out there again and it was pushed all

519
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.799
the way into the edge of the creek bed. It

520
00:30:55.279 --> 00:31:00.440
stopped right before the tires went into the creek, and

521
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.640
I called the police back. I said, don't come out here.

522
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:11.599
Somehow my jeep rolled fifty yards and stopped right before

523
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:16.519
the creek. I'm fine, And they said, are you sure?

524
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.720
Do you still want us to come out to investigate?

525
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.400
And I said, no, it's fine. I don't know how

526
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.200
my brand new jeep slipped out of gear, but it's

527
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.920
right here and it's about to go in the creek and.

528
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:33.759
It's all good.

529
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.480
So this thing and I went back and forth since

530
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:41.839
I got back from Iraq the second time until I

531
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.240
moved on base in twenty ten, and it was a

532
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.599
very it was just a very caddy back and forth

533
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:52.960
experience with this thing.

534
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:55.319
I don't think it was bigfoot. I think it was

535
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.000
dog man.

536
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.240
Sure, I was going to ask, Yeah, definitely, it was

537
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.519
more of.

538
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:02.079
A I think it was more of a dog man.

539
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:03.920
But anyways, that's my story.

540
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:09.519
How far did it have to push your jeep to

541
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.799
get fifty yards?

542
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:14.400
I lived on a forty I lived on a forty

543
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.440
acre acreage. It was a beautiful rental property out in

544
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:24.559
the country and land between the lakes. And when I

545
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.880
didn't see my I would park. I'm just gonna say this,

546
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.279
and I'm not saying this, you know, to sound like

547
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:35.640
a coward, But you know, with all this back and

548
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.079
forth I was doing with this creature, I actually pulled

549
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:45.920
my jeep onto the front yard. So when I came

550
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.680
down the steps of the front porch, I could get

551
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:53.440
in my jeep, started up and go not walk over

552
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.720
to the driveway. So when I when I walked out

553
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.480
that night to have a cigarette on the port, it

554
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.240
was gone and I couldn't see it. And so that's

555
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:09.599
when it all started, you know, until I actually went

556
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.680
out and investigated, like, there it is way down in

557
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.079
the creek.

558
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.160
How did that happen? Brand new jeep slipped out a year? Really?

559
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.039
Oh my goodness. Thank you for Sharon. We don't get

560
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.039
a lot of dog man stuff on here. And also

561
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.119
thank you for your service during the tour over there.

562
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.079
Absolutely appreciate it. Thank you so much.

563
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:33.640
Man.

564
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:37.240
That's that's a lot to go through, and that could

565
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.519
have gone a whole different way. I'm glad it didn't.

566
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:41.240
It didn't get too wild.

567
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:43.880
I think you got to stand up to these things.

568
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.680
That's all I can say is you got to stand

569
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:50.000
up to these things and beat your chest a little bit,

570
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.759
because that's what I did the whole time. And it

571
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:56.920
never messed with me physically. It messed with me more

572
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.440
on the mental level, you know, like mess with like

573
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.599
sure you know so.

574
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:04.720
Right?

575
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.079
Yeah, beat your chest against these things out there. Beat

576
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.599
your chest, you know, don't don't back down. That's all

577
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:13.000
I can say.

578
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.159
I'd say for dog Man. For dog Man, you're right.

579
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:19.199
I've done that with Bigfoot, and it turned out a

580
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:23.079
little differently for me. It turned into an infrasound experience.

581
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.119
But I think dog Man you're on the right track.

582
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:29.000
Thank you for coming up, sirs. Great talking to you.

583
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.760
I appreciate it. Thank you so much for having me.

584
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:43.800
All Right, there is reckoning. I I need to talk

585
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:48.079
to you. I saw your comments about Renier, Oregon, and

586
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:54.199
you're having activity reckoning if you can hit one of

587
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.559
those plus signs in the butt. Okay, here we go. Hey,

588
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:58.719
how's it going good?

589
00:34:59.119 --> 00:34:59.920
Can you guys hear me?

590
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.199
Yeah?

591
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:04.800
Yeah, So just a few things before we get going.

592
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.679
So it sounds like you are having activity in Renier, Oregon. Correct.

593
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.320
Have you heard my episode about Renear, Oregon?

594
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:17.760
So I actually we moved here in October, just this

595
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:22.440
recent October. You know the activity.

596
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.960
I didn't.

597
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.360
I've had its previous experiences with Bigfoot. I'm originally from

598
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:30.559
eastern Washington. Ever since I was a child, I've had experiences,

599
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.320
so I kind of the noises and stuff, you know,

600
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.679
all with all the activity of moving in and everything,

601
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.760
I didn't really pay too much attention. Wasn't until around

602
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:43.039
Christmas time when I actually was outside and heard tree

603
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:48.800
knocks and it was solid. It was solid, I mean,

604
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:52.239
you know what it sounds like. So I started looking

605
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.519
into I knew there was activity. I knew Rainier here

606
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:58.719
in Oregon. You know, I've always been interested in Bigfoot

607
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:03.480
and any truth that I can find in regards to him.

608
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:06.719
For him and.

609
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:11.800
I, it's just been so it's just been so wild.

610
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.880
So I, yes, ran across, ran across your episode on

611
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.039
Rainier organ So I ended up running into a guy

612
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.880
down at the gas station here, and this was probably

613
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:29.280
four or five days ago, and I we were just

614
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.880
chatting and I told him, you know, hey, I, you know,

615
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.159
just moved up here. And he goes, oh, you're not

616
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.719
very far from near city road, are you? And I said, no,

617
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.400
I'm not. And he asked me point blank, He says, oh,

618
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:41.239
have you seen the bigfoots yet? And I said, I

619
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:44.599
knew it. I knew it. I absolutely knew it. I said,

620
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.280
I just didn't want to go around town being like.

621
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:48.119
This is going on.

622
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.719
Was that kind of motorcycle.

623
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.280
He was not.

624
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:58.000
He was an older gentleman working down at the gas station. Yeah,

625
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:00.440
he's lived here in Rainyer most of his life. And

626
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.760
he said, so a couple of people that I have

627
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.679
talked to kind of I don't make a big deal

628
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:10.039
about it, you know, but once I hear something, I

629
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:12.960
kind of feel I can open up and kind of ask,

630
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:18.199
you know. And from what I have gathered is the

631
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:24.599
bigfoots they're seeing up here are incredibly large, incredibly incredibly large,

632
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.280
and they're black. They're very big and very black, and

633
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:35.320
they're not kind. They're not kind at all. I heard

634
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.800
the family that was harassed on your city road. They

635
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:43.639
were not treated kindly by them at all. They from

636
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.639
what I've heard from this older gentleman, the conversation, he

637
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:49.840
was getting other people gassed at the same time. So

638
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:51.559
I was kind of he was kind of back and forth,

639
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.039
and he was like, just wait a second, I got

640
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.039
to talk to you, and I'm like, yeah, man, So

641
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:59.639
what really what really got to me was he asked

642
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.519
me to you have young children?

643
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:02.159
And I do.

644
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.920
I actually have a six year old son, and he said, yeah,

645
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:07.760
you just gotta be careful run. You know, I got

646
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.039
bakers out here. We're pretty rurll out here. And yeah,

647
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:16.199
he specifically mentioned that so now I'm like, okay, so

648
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:20.159
how far can I go on my property? You know,

649
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.920
it's solid. Every other night, I'm hearing tree knocks and

650
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:29.079
it's right across from my back deck, probably probably one

651
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.679
hundred and fifty two hundred yards. It's it's every night.

652
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:36.480
Every other night I'm out here and it is solid,

653
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:43.159
tree knocks. We hear yelling, but sometimes I can't make

654
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:48.039
it out if it's coyotes. It's just been it's been

655
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:51.719
so different for the last couple months. I thought it

656
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.760
was going to be quiet up here, but it's definitely

657
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:56.639
not quiet. It's not quiet at all.

658
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:04.559
Okay, holy mackerel, have you have you seen anything weird yet?

659
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:06.480
Uh?

660
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:07.880
Not?

661
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:12.280
Particularly me and my son. When we first moved here,

662
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.480
we went we weren't too sure what it was. We

663
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.719
found some we found some scat in a tree with

664
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.360
some weird fur, and we were just like, why would

665
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:26.000
there be scat that? There must be a bear. It

666
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:27.400
must have been a bear. And my son looks at

667
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.719
me and he goes, mom, that's that's pretty's I'm not

668
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:32.519
sure if that's and I said we better just roll

669
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:34.960
on out of here. We probably shouldn't be this far

670
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.760
back here. You know, there's just been things where we've questioned,

671
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:43.000
like that just doesn't fit. You know what, this just

672
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.320
doesn't make me sense. It kind of shows off an

673
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.119
alarm bell in your head or something, you.

674
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:57.239
Know, any any tracks or anything showing up around the house.

675
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:04.800
U uh, not around the house, but along the tree line.

676
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.599
Down at the bottom of my hay field, we have

677
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.320
some pretty thick mud because it leads down to a creek.

678
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.960
And we went down there about a month ago and

679
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:16.920
we were walking along because we got a bobcat on

680
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.800
our property and he took some of our chickens, so

681
00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:22.000
we were kind of trying to follow the path and

682
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:26.480
we came across. We came across. I mean it was

683
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:28.440
funny because my son looks at me, and I looked

684
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.920
at him and I was like, dude, those are what

685
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.599
are those? And he was like, I don't know, mom,

686
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.039
And they were twice the size of my work boots.

687
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:41.199
It almost looked like something stepped in slid, but there

688
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:44.519
was no slide mark underneath the foot. It was like

689
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.239
it was just like a solid stomp, you know, like

690
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:51.119
usually if something steps on mud, it'll slip and it'll

691
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.199
lead that slide mark. This was just like a solid stomp.

692
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:56.599
And it was, like I said, twice the size of

693
00:40:56.639 --> 00:41:00.400
myot my work boots. So I couldn't really make out

694
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.880
any like toes or any but man, I'm telling you,

695
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.239
we both looked at each other and we were like,

696
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.360
this just don't look right. You know, like nothing slid here,

697
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:13.400
nothing fell here. These are like a couple of solid, big,

698
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:14.480
round stomps.

699
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:14.800
You know.

700
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:17.840
There's just things where I'm just it's not making sense

701
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.559
and it's not adding up. And then you add the

702
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.760
the noises that I hear and things, and it's I'm

703
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:26.639
just starting to kind of kind of get I don't

704
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.239
know if I'm worried or I don't know, it's it's

705
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:29.960
a weird feeling.

706
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:33.280
No, I totally get you. I don't blame you at all.

707
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:36.000
What's your size shoe? What would be double of that?

708
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.760
I wear a size eleven in women's. I've got a

709
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:44.719
pretty large foot for a woman. I'm a mill worker,

710
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.639
so I wear pretty heavy work boots. And yeah, I

711
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.679
was wearing them down there and they were easily twice

712
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:51.920
the size of my work boot. So that's why I

713
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.000
was looking for the slide mark, because I was like,

714
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.119
what would be something must have stepped in slid But

715
00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:59.239
even if something did that was down at the end

716
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.559
of my property has a boot size the foot the

717
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:04.960
size of my boot that would be down there, and

718
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:06.679
there was no slide marks.

719
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.599
So you're sayings twenty to twenty two inches.

720
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.039
It had to have been I mean it had to

721
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:14.920
have been. I mean it was. I think it was.

722
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.639
It was bigger than a foot, absolutely, I mean it was.

723
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:19.920
I put my foot down next to it and was like,

724
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:25.079
no way, just no way, Like what would have done this?

725
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:25.679
You know?

726
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:27.760
And it was you can kind of see a trail

727
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:32.119
off because it went into like some saloal. It was

728
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:34.800
just I just couldn't make any sense of it, you know,

729
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:36.760
just sticking my boot next to it, and I'm just like,

730
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:38.800
what the what.

731
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:39.760
Would be going on here?

732
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:40.199
You know?

733
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.679
So were you able to see more than one track

734
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.079
or were there multiple tracks?

735
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:51.440
There was multiple and they were all just straight like stomps.

736
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:54.519
They like the ground was just pressed in one one motion,

737
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.840
not like stomped and slid on like it was just

738
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.880
pressed down, okay, And you could see you could kind

739
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:01.519
of see it kind of go down the hill and

740
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:04.320
there's like a little trail in between this salal and

741
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:06.599
then it just kind of went off into the salal

742
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.559
and I was just like, man, I don't know. I

743
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:12.000
came across that and I just looked at my son

744
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:13.639
and I was like, we got to go, man, because

745
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:15.519
I'm just I'm not so sure about all that.

746
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:16.159
Yeah, I don't know.

747
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:21.320
I don't know what's going on. So yeah, it's kind

748
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:22.239
of unnerving.

749
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.519
How So, let's say you're seeing multiple tracks in the line.

750
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:33.159
How far distance between the tracks? Like how oh?

751
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:36.559
I would have to jump, That's what That's what caught

752
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:38.760
my eye is I was like, well, where's the next one?

753
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:41.400
And I'm looking and I'm like, well, these are footprints,

754
00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:43.760
where's the next one? I'm walking and walking and it's

755
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.599
a good ways. I mean, I would have had to.

756
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:48.480
I'm six foot tall, I've got a meter a long stride.

757
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:51.159
I had to walk a couple of steps to like

758
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:55.079
find the next one. So it was kind of interesting.

759
00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:57.239
I was like, well, all right, said something fall from

760
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.440
the trees did like, you know, what is this? I

761
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.559
couldn't make any sense of it.

762
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:08.960
Okay are you seeing? Okay? First off, so I'm the

763
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.400
first one you've really talked to about this beside the

764
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:12.800
old guy at the gas station.

765
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:17.440
Yeah, I've uh, you know, because when it first started,

766
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:20.119
when you first start hearing things and things start happening.

767
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.079
I've had experiences when I was a child all the

768
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.000
way up into my adult ears, and those one of

769
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.159
the experience was absolutely utterly terrifying. So I'm really not

770
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:33.119
interested in trying to figure out, you know, like where yet.

771
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:34.840
I'm not going to go looking for you, you know.

772
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:42.039
Right exactly exactly? Okay, Yeah, are you having like weird

773
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:44.920
stuff show up around your house or close to your house,

774
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.840
or like, is anything messing with the house itself?

775
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:54.880
So I've had two nights in a row. Oh it was.

776
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.440
The first night was probably about a month and a

777
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.239
half ago. I woke up at one o'clock in the

778
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:03.559
morning and something was knocking on the side of my

779
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:08.519
house and it was going around the house. And I

780
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:10.559
woke up to it because I fell asleep on the couch,

781
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:13.519
and I was like, did somebody get into the door?

782
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:14.239
All right?

783
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.000
They in the garage, you know. So I go down

784
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.559
to the garage and I flick on the lights, doors locked, everything.

785
00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:22.480
I'm like, okay, all right, and I just had I'm

786
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:24.519
telling you, I just had this I didn't sleep for

787
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:25.840
the rest of the night. I'll put it that way.

788
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:30.199
It was the most unnerving feeling. And I'm listening and

789
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:33.719
there is something knocking on like the south side of

790
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:37.480
my house, and it is It's not like a bam bam.

791
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:40.400
It's like a knock knock, knock, knock, knock, knock knock knock,

792
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:43.079
like going alongside the house. And I was just like,

793
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:44.920
I just clued. I just locked all the doors, shut

794
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:46.719
all the lights off, and was like, I'm not gonna move.

795
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:50.400
I don't know what's going on. And it happened again

796
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:55.159
about two weeks ago. Was sitting here, same thing, same

797
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:57.519
darn thing. I woke up and I was like, somebody

798
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.679
is messing with the door. There's gotta be something going on.

799
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.159
Went down, same thing, doors locked everything, Something's knocking on

800
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.719
the house again. So I haven't heard it since then,

801
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:11.159
but you know, basically, when the sun goes down, we

802
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:12.519
just kind of lock everything up.

803
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:18.679
I don't blame you, Holy mackerel. You were saying the

804
00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:22.639
yelling or you're hearing some kind of vocalization. Does that

805
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.079
does that sound is it unique or does it sound

806
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:26.639
like anything else that you've.

807
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:30.039
Ever heard talking it's the talking. I've heard the talking.

808
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:33.159
I've heard the talking before in eastern Washington when I've

809
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:37.000
gone hunting with my dad. This was in the Okanagan Highlands,

810
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:40.239
and I've heard the talking before, and it is the

811
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:42.800
talking in the tree line. That's what makes the hair

812
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:45.000
stand up on the back of my neck. Is because

813
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.360
you'll hear coyotes, and then the coyotes will trail off,

814
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.320
and then you'll hear what sounds like people talking in

815
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.360
the tree line. And I'm just sitting here listening and

816
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:57.760
it's like you can hear it, but it's you can't.

817
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.360
It's just there's something they're absolutely.

818
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:07.440
So when you say talking, are you saying kind of

819
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:09.480
like have you heard the siers? Sounds like that kind

820
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:09.840
of thing.

821
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:14.480
Yes, it is. So it's not as loud though, It's

822
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:19.119
like it's more like just chatter, you know. It's not

823
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:24.320
they're not like screaming screaming, but yeah, it's the same

824
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:28.679
kind of garbled It's you can hear it in the

825
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:30.719
tree line. I'm like, what is going on? And then

826
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:33.239
you listen and you're like, yeah, no, no, I'm going

827
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:33.840
back outside.

828
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:35.440
It's gotcha.

829
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:37.199
It's not a comforting.

830
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.079
Feeling so you got you said you have kids with you?

831
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.000
Yeah. Yeah, I've got a couple of them.

832
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:47.599
If any of my questions are ever too far, just

833
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.239
say I don't want to answer that. That's fine. Are

834
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:51.239
they autistic at all?

835
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:53.599
No?

836
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:53.840
No.

837
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:56.519
Do you have neighbors by? Have you talked to them

838
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.440
if they're having activities stuff like that.

839
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.800
I have not gotten a chance to meet all my

840
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:07.199
neighbors yet. There is one lady that lives next door

841
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:11.360
to me. Her dad actually built the logging road that

842
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:13.920
goes behind art. We share a logging road and it

843
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:18.639
goes up into the Warehouser property. And her dad actually

844
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:21.800
built the road ninety years ago and maintained it up

845
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.199
until his death. I have a feeling that I might

846
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:27.480
want to go over and talk to her. I just

847
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:29.360
haven't had a time to go over and bring some

848
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:30.960
coffee yet, you know, But.

849
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:35.079
I would recommend you to.

850
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:36.800
One hundred percent. It's been all my list of things

851
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.440
to do, because if anybody's going to know anything about this,

852
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:42.519
it's going to be her. Her family's been stewards of

853
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.760
this land for a long time, so she would be

854
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:46.559
the one to talk to.

855
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:48.000
Yeah.

856
00:48:48.039 --> 00:48:49.599
I mean, at the end of the day, I mean,

857
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.840
you either you have two things either going on, either

858
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:55.559
if you have bigfoot on your land, or you have

859
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:59.239
someone messing with you, and either one of those isn't

860
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:04.000
not a good situation. I think it's bigfoot personally.

861
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.679
But well, that's the thing is I'm from. So I've

862
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:11.400
been living in Astoria, Oregon for the last twenty six years.

863
00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:15.199
I just moved over to Rainier. I don't know anybody

864
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:17.719
over here. I don't have any friends over here. I

865
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.719
moved over here because I loved the property. I found

866
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:22.719
a piece of property, absolutely love. It's not too far

867
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:25.639
from work. I don't know anybody over here. Nobody even

868
00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:29.159
really knows where I live. So I really, because I've

869
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.280
thought about that, I'm like, well, maybe somebody's trying to

870
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:34.280
you know. No, I don't think that's a possibility. Nobody

871
00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:35.239
really knows where I'm at.

872
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.639
But thank you for sharing. What's going. Do you have

873
00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:40.159
cameras up on your property?

874
00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:44.199
I do not at the moment. They're still sitting in

875
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.840
a moving box in the garage. But yeah, that's another

876
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.239
thing on my list to do. To be honest, I'm

877
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:54.679
mildly nervous to I mean, I don't know it would

878
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:56.920
be interesting to see what's going on. But do I

879
00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:59.599
really want to know? I don't know. I mean, I

880
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:03.159
don't know. It's yeah, it'd be kind of scary to

881
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:06.079
catch something on camera, but it'd also be pretty darn,

882
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:10.599
pretty darn cool. So yeah, we're gonna get those up.

883
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.880
Usually when people set those up, it's a thing where

884
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.039
it'll get the activity at least a bit away from

885
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.119
your house, you know, it kind of pushes them out

886
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:26.360
a little bit. But that might be interesting. Or even

887
00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:28.199
if you have any, like I don't know, if you

888
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:30.800
have any audio recorders, that might be fun to put

889
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.599
up and see if you can. I mean, if you're

890
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:36.599
hearing Cierra sounds on your top, like, that's incredible.

891
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:38.039
My guess it's the chatter.

892
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:45.599
Yeah, the chatter. Yeah, that's wild. Please keep in touch

893
00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:49.480
with me if stuff continues to happen. My email is

894
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:51.199
Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

895
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.639
I have no quarrels with any of this. I've had

896
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:57.599
so many experiences with Bigfoot, all ranging from five years

897
00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:59.800
old up until when I last one was when I

898
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:03.559
was thirty six. I'm forty two now, so it's something

899
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:06.400
that I talk about a lot, and you know, the

900
00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:09.920
responses are all across the board. You know, I don't care.

901
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.760
I know what I've experienced, I know what I've seen,

902
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:15.760
I know what I've heard. Yeah, if somebody could explain

903
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:18.840
it for me, that would be great. But until then,

904
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:22.679
you know, this is what I've got.

905
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:25.920
Oh, this is this is really uh, really wild stuff.

906
00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.880
Let's definitely keep in touch and thank you for hanging out.

907
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:30.119
Very welcome.

908
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:34.800
I appreciate thank you for listening. Hopefully yeah, hopefully be

909
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:35.440
safe up there.

910
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:38.519
Okay, yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. We'll

911
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:39.119
stay in touch.

912
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:40.440
You got it.

913
00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:41.800
Thank you.

914
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:49.039
My goodness. That is that was intense. That was really

915
00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:56.000
really intense. It's a great night. Let's continue. Hey, what's

916
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:59.000
up man, Hay Stephen, how's it going Pretty good?

917
00:51:59.039 --> 00:51:59.360
Dude?

918
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.760
So, I, uh, hey, is it covent to my story?

919
00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:05.239
I feel free to share what you've got going on? Man.

920
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:05.960
Okay.

921
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:10.440
So I'm a paranormal investigator, right, I actually found your

922
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.320
page last week, right, I think it was last Sunday

923
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:18.639
or something like that, maybe Monday. Anyways, So I was

924
00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:23.079
actually going to set out to prove you wrong because

925
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:26.480
of the fact, but I was skeptical what I found though.

926
00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:28.960
I will no longer say that I'm trying to prove

927
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:34.079
you wrong. So yes, So I went out and I

928
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:36.440
took about four days to staut in the woods. I've

929
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:38.199
heard big Foot, the counters, I heard all this stuff,

930
00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:40.960
and I was like, this is malarkey. There's no just thing.

931
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:44.400
And I was one of the biggest skeptical. Like I

932
00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:46.119
was skeptical, right, I mean like I was like, there's

933
00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:47.039
no way this exists.

934
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:48.159
Went out there.

935
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:51.079
I live in Kentucky, I have people that I know,

936
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:54.440
and I decided to go out there and just see

937
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:57.239
what's up. So make a long story short, I was

938
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:58.360
out there for three or four days.

939
00:52:59.599 --> 00:52:59.880
I went.

940
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:03.559
While I was out there, and the first thing that

941
00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:05.760
I saw that was a little different was when I

942
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:06.280
went fishing.

943
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:07.119
I caught my fish.

944
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:09.000
I skinned them had you know, of course I ate

945
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.480
the fish and everything, and I set the fish out

946
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:15.159
right and I noticed that, uh, I kind of put

947
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.800
my fish carcasses away from the tin a little bit

948
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.280
because I didn't want to attract colities and stuff. So

949
00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:22.119
I saw that the fish were gone, and then I

950
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:24.039
was like, Okay, that's just coylodies and stuff, you know,

951
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:28.199
like nothing big. But then as I was looking though, like,

952
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.000
I didn't see no footprints, and I was like, well,

953
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:30.639
it's odd.

954
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:30.840
You know.

955
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.639
You usually see koudy, you see scrapes from coldies and

956
00:53:33.639 --> 00:53:35.440
stuff like that, because I've always been an avid hunter.

957
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:36.159
Nothing.

958
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:40.199
The second night I was there, I heard a knock

959
00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:42.679
and I was like, okay, well, I've heard of people

960
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:46.079
hear knocks, suppose the associate with bigfoot. But I was like,

961
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:47.800
that's nothing, you know. I was like, I just probably

962
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:51.239
something I thought I heard. About three o'clock in the morning,

963
00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:53.119
I heard another knock. I actually I heard three knocks.

964
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:54.599
I was like, wait, what is this. It's not like

965
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:57.320
someone was taking a stick and hitting it against a tree.

966
00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:00.760
And I was like, I've never heard this before. And

967
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:03.000
that's all I had my second night, the third knock.

968
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:04.719
The third night I was out there, I think it

969
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:06.559
was out there for three nights, maybe three nights, and

970
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.000
it was like three nights, I think in four days.

971
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:12.239
I think I went home on the fourth day. But

972
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.119
that third night I was there, I heard a knock

973
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:16.599
right and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna go ahead

974
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.639
and see with this. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

975
00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:20.679
pull this. I'm not gonna like have this be in

976
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:23.199
like something I think is not there. I'm gonna see

977
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:26.119
the truth. I went out there and I decided to

978
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:29.320
go about a mile or two and then that's when

979
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:30.960
it kind of like hit me. I was like, oh my,

980
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:35.960
this guy he's actually on something. I used my thermal gun. Yeah,

981
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:39.760
I had a thermal gun. Okay, I actually used my

982
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.800
thermal gun. And what I saw I thought it was

983
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:44.880
a man. I thought it was a man that was

984
00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:47.760
possibly uh taking in a tree sent or something, because

985
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:50.599
he was sitting there and or he was sitting there

986
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:52.920
and he was just walking and I had him on

987
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:54.800
thermal gun. I didn't think to take a picture because

988
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:56.559
I was like, oh, this is this is just a guy.

989
00:54:58.400 --> 00:54:59.679
I then I I.

990
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:01.679
Went over there and I was I looked around and

991
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:05.000
I saw a footprint right, and I have this. I

992
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.199
have this footprint on my other phone. The team is

993
00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:11.000
actually I have a team that does paranormal with me,

994
00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:13.280
and they're like just sitting there saying, okay, let me

995
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:14.800
look at this, let me see what it was. But

996
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:16.320
the footprint was a little bigger. It was actually a

997
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:18.480
lot bigger than I thought would be. It was around

998
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.599
it was I guess in measurement, this footprint would have

999
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.760
been about sixteen inches. It would have been or like

1000
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:27.760
you know, like I would say sixteen maybe seventeen. And

1001
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.159
then I was like, okay, well, if that's the case,

1002
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:32.320
this guy would have been big. So what I did

1003
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:34.199
was I took the picture that I have the thermal gun,

1004
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:37.320
and I told I had my son govern Stanner. He's

1005
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.239
five foot eight. I told my son to stand over there.

1006
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:45.400
As he was standing there and the picture I saved,

1007
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.920
he was still about two foot shorter, two and a

1008
00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:51.559
half foot shorter than what the picture I took. You

1009
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:54.079
know what I'm saying, because I recreated that and I

1010
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:56.599
was like this, So so whatever I saw had to

1011
00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:59.280
have been in the range of seven foot two to

1012
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:03.199
seven foot five. So, man, I'm over here thinking like

1013
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:06.400
what did I catch? I'm a skeptic. I ain't gonna

1014
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:08.199
lie to you, but I'm not a skeptic as much

1015
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:10.840
as I was. I'm over here asking you, like, did

1016
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.159
I see something I thought it was or was it

1017
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:15.360
a big man? Or I still don't know, bro, Like,

1018
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:17.519
I don't know what I saw. So I'm just asking you.

1019
00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:22.159
Wow, Yeah, So I mean what you're what you're sharing

1020
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:24.679
with me. It sounds like you had a definite encounter

1021
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:26.760
the stuff you were hearing and the stuff you saw

1022
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:31.000
definitely and you said, this is just recently that happened.

1023
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:33.199
This was the Okay, this was I think this would

1024
00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:36.360
have been Wednesday. Yeah, it would have been Wednesday night.

1025
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.199
And I still, yeah, I still don't know what I saw.

1026
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:44.920
I'm I'm not as skeptical as I was. Actually, I'm

1027
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.960
like thirty percent on the fence. I still I'm still like, Hey,

1028
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:51.800
did I did I actually see something? Or or was

1029
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:54.039
this just a really tall guy? But the town I

1030
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.280
live in is really small and I pretty much know

1031
00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:58.400
everybody in my town, and I'm like, no one here

1032
00:56:58.480 --> 00:56:59.800
is seven foot three?

1033
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:01.480
What did I see? Like?

1034
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:03.119
Like, was it something? Was it?

1035
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:04.079
Was it that?

1036
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:04.519
You know?

1037
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.199
So I still don't know. I may get a footprint

1038
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:10.840
that was I would I would say about sixteen inches

1039
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:14.719
something like that. Uh, So I don't. I still don't know, though,

1040
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:17.639
Like I'm I'm gonna said, I have pictures that I

1041
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:19.400
can show you later on I can send to your thing.

1042
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:22.719
He has them with the Yeah, so I don't know.

1043
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:25.960
Can you share what part of Kentucky?

1044
00:57:26.639 --> 00:57:29.239
Yes, sir, this is West Kentucky. Right, So there's a

1045
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:31.440
little place. I don't know if you've heard of it.

1046
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:32.920
It's called Marion, Kentucky.

1047
00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:44.360
Let me look it up. Marion, Kentucky. Let's see. Oh yeah, totally.

1048
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:51.400
So that is uh, you're kind of over by Ohio

1049
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:53.599
River and on the other side is Garden of the

1050
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.519
Gods and National Force stuff. Yeah, dude, that area is

1051
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:04.000
pretty wild. So I have there been there before? Oh yeah?

1052
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:04.199
Man?

1053
00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:06.400
So okay, So if you go to my website, which

1054
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:09.599
is Bigfoot Society Podcast dot com, and then you go

1055
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:14.800
on sighting map, where you're talking about is surrounded by

1056
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:18.599
dots of people that I've talked to in Illinois Land

1057
00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:22.559
between the lakes east of the east of your I mean,

1058
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:25.400
the whole area has had sightings and encounters and stuff.

1059
00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:30.039
I mean, if you have you ever looked up Charlie

1060
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:34.280
Raymond with the KBR. Oh, they're the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization.

1061
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.119
No, sir, Like I'm like I said, I've been paranormal

1062
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:39.679
investigating for like five years. It's the first time I've

1063
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.440
ever done anything like this. And no disrespect to you.

1064
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:44.880
I respect you one hundred percent. Now I try to

1065
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:46.719
go in with like a thing of like I'm going

1066
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:49.519
to show this guy this is fake, I you know,

1067
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.920
And then what I saw was like, I am sorry,

1068
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:54.480
I'm sorry man.

1069
00:58:54.320 --> 00:58:55.800
That's wild. That's wild.

1070
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:56.079
Man.

1071
00:58:56.920 --> 00:59:01.719
I'm glad that you had that experience. Though Charlie Raymond

1072
00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:03.679
would love to hear from me. He keeps track of

1073
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:07.440
all the Kentucky bigfoot reports took if you can look

1074
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.239
him up. But dude, man, that's why. So are you

1075
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.440
gonna go out and try to do some more bigfoot

1076
00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:12.920
stuff or what?

1077
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.960
Yeah, So it's supposed to rain the rest this week

1078
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:19.119
where I live. I'm actually actually I'm going to I

1079
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.000
think next. I think it's gonna be this Monday. I

1080
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:24.880
have a full week off. I have a little tenth

1081
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:27.280
that I set up. I'm gonna go out there again,

1082
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.079
but this time, since I did see something, I went

1083
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:33.079
ahead and I bought two more thermal guns. And I'm

1084
00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:35.480
gonna give it to uh two of my team members

1085
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:37.440
that a way. I have one, they have one. They

1086
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:39.920
have one. And then I'm gonna also too, uh. We

1087
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:43.840
also have these uh little cat balls that we're going

1088
00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:47.760
to we're gonna like put up somewhere and and I

1089
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:50.519
have cameras there so and they also make noise. So

1090
00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:52.480
I'm thinking like if I don't know if this is

1091
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.280
the way it works, but I'm thinking maybe like if

1092
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:57.079
if they see something shiny, do they tend to pick

1093
00:59:57.119 --> 01:00:00.159
stuff up like that or or they know or like

1094
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:01.159
how would that work?

1095
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:02.039
Uh?

1096
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:05.760
Some people think so. Some people use even like CDs

1097
01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:08.960
okay and hang them up with string. I don't hear

1098
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:10.320
that a lot, but I hear it every once.

1099
01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:10.559
In a while.

1100
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:16.199
Okay, yeah, I mean really, what it comes down to

1101
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:22.159
is like just be like, be like normal, normal campers

1102
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:25.199
out there making a lot of noise, and it's if

1103
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:26.719
they're in the area, it's going to bring them in

1104
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:28.159
because they're super curious, you know.

1105
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.960
So Okay, listen, man, I thank you so much for

1106
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:33.920
letting me up. Like I said, man, I appreciate you.

1107
01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:37.559
God bless you, brother, And I'll send you some pictures

1108
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:41.199
that I took probably tomorrow. That way you have something

1109
01:00:41.199 --> 01:00:43.639
that you'll say and you'll see that big footprint and stuff.

1110
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:44.840
But yeah, man, God bless you.

1111
01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:45.760

He's in a great area. Mary in Kentucky. I knew

1117
01:01:01.239 --> 01:01:03.320
tonight was going to be crazy. I just knew it.

1118
01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.360
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1119
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:18.559
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

1120
01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:21.519
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1121
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:26.039
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can

1122
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:29.679

be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

1127
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:50.760

you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can

1149
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:23.920
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

1150
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:27.599
many people last year and the year before. It is

1151
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:30.559
an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

1152
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:35.320
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

1153
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.960
I want to say something directly to a very specific

1154
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:41.480
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

1155
01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:44.480
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

1156
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:47.719
can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or

1157
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:51.400
forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet. If you're

1158
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.840
a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

1159
01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:58.000
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

1160
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:01.119
working intelligence and you stumble the upon something you're not

1161
01:04:01.239 --> 01:04:04.440
allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic,

1162
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:07.880
or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found

1163
01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:10.880
tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging

1164
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:14.760
industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with

1165
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:18.719
government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never

1166
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:22.679
told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

1167
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:26.239
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

1168
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:30.000
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

1169
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:33.280
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

1170
01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:37.840
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA,

1171
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:41.440
or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1172
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:46.320
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1173
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.639
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

1174
01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:54.480
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

1175
01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:59.320
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

1176
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:04.639
We've got the mic see you in the woods. Thank

1177
01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:07.559
you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society Podcast.

1178
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:10.079
Every encounter we share reminds us that the world is

1179
01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:13.239
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

1180
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.119
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you

1181
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:18.960
